Mental Block Wednesday
No idea what to do for a list today, so ten random things...
1. "Off" This Week
Still did work Monday (about 1/2 day) and yesterday (another 1/2 day). Today through Friday, truly off.
2. Sleeping In
Yeah, not out of bed before 6am this week. Major effort, but worth it.
3. Dryer Repair Today
Sometime between 8am and 5pm. Real narrow there.
4. Furnace cleaning yesterday
Scheduled in mid-November... couldn't get earlier. Usually get older gents (one was 80+), yesterday's was a young man no more than 23.
5. AI For Life / Process Improvement
Using it to do a Substack series on ten ways people should use AI they haven't thought of yet. I'm starting up with "knowledge gardening" and "decision journals" - a bit of a struggle, but pushing through. User name on SS is the same as here, if interested.
6. White Castle...
Had to go to my bricks & mortar bank branch to deposit a check that wouldn't process with their app (Wells Fargo). There are three around us, all several miles away. I went to the furthest one, because it was close to the area White Castle!
7. Son's First Adult NYE
Last year, he drove to a friend's party, but had to leave early because in New Jersey drivers under 18 can't be on the road after 11pm. Today, he's a grown ass man. He'll be hanging out with a few friends, and while I believe he won't drink, I'll be worried about him on the road with the stupid NYE drunks after midnight.
8. Bowl Football All Day
Won't watch it all day, but good to know it is there.
9. Snacks
Today/tonight - pigs in a blanket, ham salad sliders, Fritos & onion dip, maybe more depending on motivation.
10. Happy New Year!
Wishing all of you a fantastic 2026!
